Both titles will house familiar songs that fans of the franchise have come to know and love, including originals by Shoji Meguro, with compositions by Ryota Kozuka. Therea re even a few remixes through in there by Jazztronik, ATOLS, Lotus Juice, and much more.
Players will be tasked with selecting a song and then working their way through completion to gather more. This unlocks more dancers, partners, music, and even ways to customize those toons for a perfectly unique performance in the Persona-verse.
According to the company, “Getting started in P3D/P5D is simple – choose a song, select a difficulty level, select your dancer(s), and get on with the show! After that, all you need to do is time button presses with the on-screen prompts in time with the music, and you’ll be jamming along with your favorite Persona series characters. There’s also an auto-play mode in case you just want to enjoy some catchy songs and expertly-choreographed dance routines (auto-play won’t count for progression, though).”
Dance your way through unlocking specific objectives and build relationships with other characters. Both titles offer a social experience unique to this series, and these “Social” scenes will help see the hidden depths within this dance-driven franchise. This is just another way the Persona series has grown and branched out for what they are known for, a “different side” of a universe well loved.
We don’t have a specific date yet, but both titles are slated for an early 2019 release!
